Improve the wetting and spreading of spray solutions on leaf, stem or insect surfaces. The surface-active agents in 80/20 Surfactant are suitable for use wherever a pesticide label recommends a surfactant, spreader or wetter. The general purpose surfactant also contains a defoamer to help suppress the formation of foam in your spray solutions.

Advice

  1. Stockpiling Warm Season Grasses

    Less-than-optimum weather conditions, as well as the cost of fertilizer, fuel, and other production inputs are factors that often make it difficult for livestock producers to make a profit.  Providing  nutrition during times when pasture is not available is one of the costliest aspects of producing livestock, so it makes [...]

  2. PASTURES TELL A STORY

    A livestock producer learns a lot about a pasture over time by managing it, but that is not the only way to obtain information about a given field. Often, a great deal can be gained from simple observation, because various plants are more likely to become established and thrive under [...]

  3. KEY HAY STORAGE CONCEPTS

    Providing nutrition when little or no pasture forage is available constitutes the single largest expense associated with most livestock operations. In most cases, hay is the most logical type of stored feed to use. Generally, the less hay required, the greater the cost effectiveness of an operation, and how hay [...]

  4. Job Done Right Podcast Episode 5: The Do's and Don'ts of RM43

    RM43 is the most effective, commercially available product for killing and preventing grass and weeds. It was developed based on customer requests for a more potent herbicide that wouldn’t require respraying during the growing season. This episode of our podcast features Ragan & Massey co-owner Tom Ragan. It first aired [...]

  5. IRRIGATION OF FORAGE CROPS

    Livestock producers are aware (in fact, as a result of droughts we have had in recent years they are painfully aware) of the fact that dry weather reduces forage growth, which lowers pasture and hay forage growth. This in turn results in a need for more hay or other stored [...]
